Yes, I did. But mpg123 passes the compliance test and lame does not, and I
want to know why.

By the way, I'm currently working on my version of decoder (based on hip). I
would like to release it under LGPL. It can be easily integrated with lame.
Here are some of its features:
- support for free-format streams
- more output format options (16/24/32 bit and float, high/low endian,
reduced sampling frequency)
- forced mono or stereo mode
- better resync on bad streams (as compared to mpglib)
- support for replay gain
- optional x86 assembly optimizations

Are you interested?
